Existing growth rate = g =
6.20%
Expected dividend = D1 = D0*(1+g) =
1.60
Expected rate = r =
?
Current stock price = P0 =
40.00
Flotation cost = f = 6%*P0=
2.40
Formula for calculating the Expected rate:
r = (D1/(P0-f))+g = 1.6/(40-2.4)+6.2%
10.46%
Therefore,
Expected rate = r = Cost of retained earnings in percentage or % = 10.46
